1901 5C PR68
NGC. This flashy proof striking has almost no contrast between
the fields and devices, as one would expect from this date. The
surfaces sparkle with intense reflectivity and die polish, and
there are almost no post-striking impairments present on this
lovely coin. This proof presents as a brilliant coin, but close
examination shows it actually has a pale overlay of ice-blue toning
with a dash of golden at the bottom of the reverse. Census: 2 in 68
